Armanks (アーマン, Arman) are some of the more powerful enemies in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. They first appear in The Wilds (Part I).
Enemy description[edit]
Although they look like large war machines, Armanks are actually the blob-like creatures which operate these things. They bear similarities to battle tanks, but instead of a traditional cannon, they are equipped with a large and retractable mechanical arm that ends with a draconic head-like claw akin to construction vehicles. While the arm is retracted, Armanks are immune to essentially all damage, as well as only being able to roll around on their treads, which deals damage to any player who makes contact with their treads. Eventually, they will extend the arm, which may then either shoot out in a ramming attack towards any nearby player, perform a sweeping attack along the ground or fire three energy pulses in quick succession.
Following the arm's neutralization, the Armank's chassis is forced open, revealing the blob-like creature operating it, which is the Armank's only vulnerable point. If this creature is attacked repeatedly, the Armank, chassis and all, will perform short but non-damaging bounces, preventing it from closing its chassis again. If the Armank is successful in closing its chassis, it will reproduce its arm and restart the cycle. Additionally, if a player attacks an Armank the moment it appears (before it makes contact with the ground), they will be able to deal damage as if they had already neutralized the Armank's arm. According to the Armank trophy, it is used as a construction vehicle. When trying to capture its trophy, the Trophy Stand can be thrown at any part of it, even with the arm equipped, but its health must still be lowered.
Name origin[edit]
The enemy's name is a combination of the words "armor" or "arm" and "tank". The arm part might describe the mechanical arm that it uses to attack the player.

Trophy[edit]
- Armank
- A brutal enemy in the Subspace Army or mobile construction equipment? Yes, it moves on treads and has a functional construction arm, but that arm is also capable of brutal attacks. Continue attacking the arm to reveal the Armank's weak spot. Wait... It looks like there's mud on the end of the arm! Maybe the Armank IS just a construction vehicle for the Subspace Army!
